Introduction 


This  bibliography  presents  the  titles  of  the  two  following  classes  of  publications 
relating  to  the  conventions  and  constitutions  of  Virginia:  First,  official  documents, 
such  as  bills  and  acts  for  the  organization  of  conventions,  the  journals,  debates,  and 
committee  reports,  the  statistical  documents  and  miscellaneous  papers  compiled 
and  edited  for  the  particular  use  of  the  conventions,  and  various  editions  of  the 
constitutions;  second,  the  published  material  appearing  independently  of  the  au- 
thority of  the  conventions,  either  in  the  newspapers  and  magazines  or  as  pamphlets 
and  books,  such  as  petitions,  historical  treatises,  essays,  letters,  addresses  to  con- 
stituents, speeches  in  the  House  and  Senate  when  convention  bills  were  under 
consideration,  resolutions  and  reports  of  mass  meetings  expressing  opinions  of  the 
existing  constitution,  editorials,  platforms  of  political  parties,  reminiscences  of  mem- 
bers of  the  conventions,  and  such  other  productions  of  the  press  as  serve  to  illustrate 
the  movement  toward  a  change  in  the  constitution. 

Complete  accounts  of  the  debates  have  been  published  in  book  form  only  for  the 
conventions  of  1788,  1829-30  and  1901-02;  incomplete  accounts  in  book  form  for 
the  conventions  of  1850-51  and  1867-68.  Beginning  with  the  convention  of  1829-30 
the  newspapers  published  reports,  varying  in  degree  of  fullness,  of  the  debates  of 
all  the  conventions,  with  possibly  the  exception  of  the  Alexandria  convention  of 
1864.  It  is  a  source  of  regret  that  it  has  not  been  possible  to  examine  a  file  of 
Alexandria  papers  of  1864,  in  which  the  debates  of  the  convention  of  1864  would 
have  appeared,  Lf  at  all. 

The  committee  reports,  statistical  compilations,  memorials,  resolutions,  proposed 
ordinances  and  miscellaneous  papers  were  usually  issued  separately.  They  were 
bound,  after  adjournment,  with  the  Journal  in  the  case  of  the  conventions  of  1829-30, 
and  1901-02;  for  the  conventions  of  1850-51,  1861  and  1867-68  they  were  bound 
in  separate  volumes,  labeled  "Documents."  It  is  likely  that  in  binding  up  some 
of  the  "Document"  volumes,  certain  separate  documents  were  omitted,  so  that 
all  Document  volumes  may  not  have  the  same  separates.  In  this  bibliography  the 
title  of  each  of  these  separate  documents,  with  only  an  occasional  necessary  omission, 
appears  in  full  in  the  table  of  contents  for  the  whole  volume.  The  value  of  these 
special  document  volumes  is  inestimable;  they  contain  much  statistical  and  other 
matter  (arranged  in  a  comparative  form  and  covering  terms  of  years)  that  could  be 
extracted  from  the  annual  reports  of  the  state  officials  only  with  much  research,  if 
at  all. 

It  has  not  been  possible  nor  desirable  to  indicate  all  the  editions  of  each  constitu- 
tion. It  is  interesting  to  note  that  the  constitution  of  1776  appeared  in  London 
in  Almon's  Remembrancer  the  same  year  in  which  it  was  adopted. 

The  intimate  bearing  of  the  conventions  and  constitutions  of  West  Virginia,  of 
the  period  of  1861-65,  upon  the  constitutional  history  of  Virginia  has  made  it  de- 
sirable to  include  in  this  bibliography  the  titles  of  the  official  publications  of  these 
conventions,  and  of  some  other  West  Virginia  literature  descriptive  of  the  period. 
For  convenience,  these  tides  have  been  arranged  under  the  heading  "Convention 
of  1861." 

Of  the  second  class  of  published  information,  the  titles  in  this  bibliography  repre- 
sent only  a  selection.  The  titles  of  some  of  the  petitions  presented  to  the  Revolu- 
tionary conventions,  printed  up  to  this  time,  have  been  included,  as  indicating  the 
powers  and  responsibilities  of  those  conventions;  it  has  not  been  possible,  by  reference 
to  the  Proceedings,  to  identify  every  petition  as  having  been  presented  to  a  particular 
convention;  such  petition  has,  therefore,  been  included  under  the  convention  which 
seems  most  probably  to  have  considered  it.  Citations  have  been  made  to  the  re- 
printed journals,  or  proceedings  of  the  Revolutionary  conventions  in  the  American 
Archives,  and  in  some  cases  to  Almon's  Remembrancer  Many  references  to  the 
literature  in  the  Virginia  (usually  Richmond)  newspapers  have  been  included,  a 
particular  effort  having  been  made  to  transcribe  the  titles  of  signed  and  unsigned 


articles  a  column  or  more  in  length.  The  files  of  the  Enquirer,  Whig,  Impartial 
Observer,  Examiner,  Virginia  Gazette,  Virginia  Independent  Chronicle,  Recorder, 
Dispatch,  and  Times  of  the  periods  of  the  conventions,  and  preceding  them,  have 
been  examined.  The  Library  has  no  file  of  the  Enquirer  for  the  years  1850-.51; 
this  will  account  for  the  lack  of  references  to  that  convention  in  this  important 
paper.  There  is,  of  course,  much  in  the  papers  of  which  there  is  no  record  here, 
principally  unsigned  articles,  and  those  less  than  a  column  in  length.  To  have  in- 
cluded all  would  have  extended  this  list  beyond  the  limit  planned  for  this  number  of 
the  Bulletin.  It  is  believed  that  enough  references  have  been  given  to  indicate 
the  nature  and  richness  of  the  information  in  the  newspapers  on  the  subject. 

A  list  of  a  few  works  on  the  conventions  and  constitutions  of  the  states  in  general 
has  been  prefixed  to  the  Virginia  matter.  No  effort  has  been  made  to  have  this 
section  comprehensive,  but  rather  to  condense  it  and  keep  it  within  a  reasonable 
limit.  The  titles  of  the  early  collected  editions  of  the  constitutions  have  been  in- 
cluded here,  as  showing,  to  some  extent,  the  use  of  the  constitutions  in  France, 
England,  and  the  United  States.  It  is  of  interest  to  note  that  a  collection  of  the 
constitutions  was  published  at  Winchester  as  early  as  1811,  this  no  doubt  having 
been  issued  for  the  special  purpose  of  arousing  interest  in  the  revision  of  the  Vir- 
ginia constitution. 

It  is  a  pleasure  to  acknowledge  the  assistance  rendered  by  the  Library  of  Congress, 
Massachusetts  State  Library  and  the  New  York  City  Public  Library;  by  Mr.  T.  L. 
Cole,  of  Washington,  D.  C,  Prof.  J.  M.  Lear,  of  Farmville,  Va.,  Dr.  Douglas  S. 
Freeman,  Richmond,  Va.,  Mr.  W.  W.  Scott,  Librarian  of  the  State  Law  Library, 
and  Dr.  H.  J.  Eckenrode,  of  the  Virginia  State  Library.  Frequent  use  has  been 
made  of  the  valuable  manuscript  catalogue  of  Virginia  State  documents  in  the  Vir- 
ginia State  Library,  compiled  by  Mr.  W.  C.  Torrence,  and  of  the  manuscript  check 
list  of  Virginia  newspapers  in  the  Virginia  State  Library,  compiled  by  Mrs.  K.  _P. 
Minor.  In  the  search  for  material  on  the  Convention  of  1861,  the  manuscript 
check  list  of  newspapers  in  the  Confederate  Memorial  Museum,  compiled  by  Miss 
Susie  Harrison,  was  invaluable;  acknowledgment  is  hereby  made  to  her  and  to 
Miss  Maury  for  assistance  in  examining  these  papers.  In  the  examination  of  the 
Riclunond  papers  I  have  had  the  very  competent  help  of  Miss  Edmonia  Martin, 
of  the  Library  force.

"In  January,  1776,  Mr.  George 
Wythe,  of  Virginia,  passing  an  even- 
ing with  me,  asked  me  what  plan  I 
would  advise  a  colony  to  pursue,  in 
order  to  get  out  of  the  old  govern- 
ment and  into  the  new.  I  sketched 
in  words  a  scheme,  which  he  re- 
quested me  to  give  him  in  writing. 
Accordingly,  the  next  day,  I  de- 
livered to  him  the  following  letter. 
He  lent  it  to  his  colleague,  Richard 
Henry  Lee,  who  asked  me  to  let 
him  print  it;  to  which  I  consented, 
provided  he  would  suppress  my 
name."  p.  191.  See  p.  201  for

"The  whole  of  this  paper  was 
transcribed  by  Madison  after  his 
retirement  to  private  life.  An  ex- 
haustive establishment  of  George 
Mason's  authorship  of  the  Decla- 
ration of  rights  as  a  whole  may  be 
found  in  Kate  Mason  Rowland's 
Life  of  George  Mason.  The  author- 
ship of  the  clause  concerning  re- 
ligious liberty,  which,  as  the  draft 
shows,  was  originated  by  Madison, 
is  in  dispute.  Edmund  Randolph  at- 
tributed   it    to    Patrick    Henry,    but

Miss  Rowland  insists  that  Mason 
wrote  it.  See  Life  of  George  Mason, 
V.  1.,  241  et  seq.;  also  Conway's  Ed- 
mund Randolph,  158.  Madison  in- 
troduced his  amendment  in  the 
convention  itself,  but  if  he  spoke 
upon  it,  which  is  improbable,  as 
he  was  then  mastered  by  his  mod- 
esty and  youth,  there  is  no  record 
of  it.  The  Plan  of  government, 
from  which  the  constitution  was 
evolved,  was,  according  to  unsup- 
ported tradition,  written  by  Meri- 
wether Smith  (See  Madison's  let- 
ter to  Mason's  grandson,  29  Decem- 
ber, 1827.)  In  the  construction  of 
the  constitution  itself,  Mason's  was 
the  master  hand,  and  it  is  highly 
probable  that  he  also  wrote  the 
Plan.  See  Miss  Rowland's  Life  of 
George  Mason;  also  for  an  earlier 
impression  of  Madison,  Madison  to 
Washington,  Oct.  18,  1787,  where 
he  incidentally  speaks  of  the  con- 
stitution as  having  been  drawn  by 
Mason;  and  his  letter  to  Judge 
Woodward,  Sept.  11,  1824;  also

Debates  and  other  proceedings  of  the 
convention  of  Virginia,  convened 
at  Richmond,  on  Monday  the  sec- 
ond day  of  June,  1788,  for  the 
purpose  of  deliberating  on  the  con- 
stitution recommended  by  the 
grand  federal  convention.  To 
which  is  prefixed  the  federal  con- 
stitution. Taken  in  short  hand, 
by  David  Robertson  ...  of 
Petersburg.  Second  edition.  Rich- 
mond, Printed  at  the  Enquirer 
press,  for  Ritchie  and  Worsley  and 
Augustine  Davis,  1805.  477p.

"The  great  and  general  eagerness 
to  know  their  deliberations,  in- 
duced the  publication  of  these  de- 
bates, which  were  taken  down  In 
short  hand,  as  fully  and  accurately 
as  an  ineligible  seat,  and  other  dis- 
advantageous circumstances  per- 
mitted the  stenographer  to  take 
them." 

"Though  they  are  much  more  de- 
tailed than  such  debates  usually 
are,  and  though  he  was  governed 
by  the  most  sacred  regard  to  strict 
justice  and  impartiality  in  taking 
and  transcribing  them,  the  pecu- 
liarity of  his  situation,  must  have 
rendered  the  publication  imperfect, 
and  perhaps  in  some  (he  hopes 
few)  instances,  have  occasioned  a 
misconception  of  the  meaning  of  the 
speakers.  Among  other  disadvan- 
tages, it  was  republished  without 
the  aid  of  a  proof  sheet.  The  trans- 
criber had  no  opportunity  of  exam- 
ining and  correcting  the  sheet  first 
committed  to  the  press,  so  as  to 
render  all  the  other  sheets  accurate 
— a  benefit  which  perhaps  Is  com- 
mon to  every  other  publication  in 
the  English  language.  Yet  the  sub- 
stance of  those  debates  was  so  in- 
teresting, that  the  work  met  with 
general  approbation;  and  a  much 
greater  number  of  volumes  might 
have  been  easily  sold,  than  were 
published. — The  book  is  now  in 
great  demand,  and  not  to  be  pro- 
cured. A  second  edition  has  been  for 
a  long  time  loudly  called  for.  In 
compliance  with  what  is  conceived 
to   be   the   general   desire,   it  is  now 


published.  In  order  to  make  it 
more  acceptable,  it  has  been  in 
part  revised  and  corrected  by  the 
same  stenographer  who  took  them 
down.  He  has  excluded,  it  is  be- 
lieved, most  of  the  errors  In  the 
first  edition. — He  has  been  aided  in 
doing  so,  by  reference  to  part  of 
the  stenographical  manuscript 
which  is  preserved  in  his  posses- 
sion; part  of  it  has  been  destroyed. 
This  revision  might  perhaps  have 
been  perfect,  could  he  have  had 
some  communication  with  the 
speakers  on  some  points.  As  he 
could  not  communicate  with  all,  he 
declined,  for  obvious  reasons,  to 
communicate  with  any."  Preface, 
p.  vii,  viii. 

"No  such  thing  as  a  published 
speech  was  then  known  in  the 
country,  and  the  only  means  of 
forming  an  opinion  of  the  powers 
of  a  public  man  was  to  hear  him 
speak.  Brief  and  imperfect  as 
Robertson's  Debates  are,  they  pre- 
sent the  fullest  report  of  speeches 
then  known  in  our  annals."  Grigsby. 
History  of  the  Virginia  federal  con- 
vention of  1788.  V.  1.  p.  73,  74. 
Note. 

"When  the  body  assembled, 
David  Robertson,  of  Petersburg, 
with  an  assistant,  both  shorthand 
reporters,  appeared  to  take  down 
the  debates,  a  thing  unprecedented 
in  the  history  of  Virginia  assem- 
blies. Instead  of  being  allowed  to 
place  his  table  in  front  of  the 
Speaker,  what  he  calls,  "an  in- 
eligible seat."  was  all  he  could  se- 
cure; and  while  some  of  the  federal 
speakers  revised  his  report  of  their 
speeches,  the  opposition,  regarding 
him  as  in  the  interest  of  the  feder- 
alists, refused  to  render  him  this 
assistance,  thereby  doing  them- 
selves the  greatest  injustice.

chronicle,  between  December,  1788 
and  July,  1789,  but  also  many 
answers  to  the  same,  signed  "Juve- 
nal," "Philo  Pat.  Pat.  Patria,"  "An- 
ti  Decius,"  "Honestus,"  and 
others." 

"It  is  a  most  scathing  attack  on 
the  anti-federalists  of  Virginia, 
and  especially,  on  their  leader, 
Patrick  Henrj'.  Perhaps  nothing  il- 
lustrates, better  the  rarity  and  dif- 
ficulty of  finding  the  pamphlets  of 
this  period  than  the  fact  that  Mr. 
Tyler,  so  well  read  in  American 
literature,  has  in  his  Life  of  Pat- 
rick Henry,  entirely  overlooked 
this  most  plain  spoken  laying  bare 
of  the  motives  and  actions  of  Hen- 
ry, of  which  I  have  been  able  to 
discover  only  a  single  (imperfect) 
copy." 

"I  have  been  able  to  find  nothing 
concerning  Dr.  Montgomery,  except 
that  he  was  a  member  of  the  Vir- 
ginia convention."  P.  L.  Ford. 
Pamphlets  on  the  constitution. 
1888.  p.   415,   416. 

"The  authorship  of  Decius  is  in 
doubt.  See  Ford's  Pamphlets  on 
the  constitution,  415-417.  Mr.  Jef- 
ferson,  in  a  note   on  his  copy  of   a 


collection  of  the  letters  and  replies, 
attributes  Decius  to  Dr.  Montgom- 
ery, who,  Mr.  Ford  thinks,  was 
James  Montgomery,  delegate  from 
Washington  county  in  the  Vir- 
ginia convention.  This  gentleman, 
however,  voted  with  the  anti-fed- 
eralists. The  author  was  doubtless 
John  Nicholas  (Americanus),  as 
was  supposed  at  the  time,  accord- 
ing to  Judge  Roane.  But  as  there 
were  two  persons  of  that  name,  one 
a  son  of  Robert  Carter  Nicholas, 
and  the  other,  his  cousin,  there  is 
still  a  doubt  as  to  the  person. 
From  the  character  given  of  the 
cousin,  who  lived  in  Albemarle 
county,  in  Randall's  Life  of  Jef- 
ferson, it  is  very  probable  that  he 
wrote  the  letters.  It  is  noteworthy 
that  Mr.  Jefferson,  though  making 
notes  on  this  pamphlet,  nowhere 
seems  to  disapprove  of  the  scurri- 
lous attack.  His  copy  is  in  the 
Congressional  library."  Henry,  W.

"Jefferson's  dislike  of  the  Vir- 
ginia constitution  of  1776  has  al- 
ready (v.  2.  p.  7)  been  alluded  to. 
From  its  adoption  he  was  always 
endeavoring  to  obtain  a  convention 
to  frame  a  new  one,  and  on  his 
spending  a  day  in  Richmond  at  the 
opening  of  the  spring  session  of  the 
legislature,  in  1783,  he  found  such 
a  convention  a  subject  of  discussion. 
He  wrote  Madison  the  day  after 
this  visit  (May  7,  17Sf!):  'All  the 
powers  of  his  [Thomson  Mason] 
mind  seem  at  present  concentrated 
in  one  single  object,  the  producing 
of  a  convention  to  new  model  the 
constitution.  This  is  a  subject  much 
agitated,  and  seems  the  only  one 
they  will  have  to  amuse  themselves 
with,  till  they  shall  receive  your 
[Congress]  propositions.'  Suppos- 
ing from  this  informal  talk,  that 
such  a  convention  would  be  ordered, 
Jefferson  drafted  this  proposed 
constitution  some  time  between 
May  7th  and  June  17  th.    On  the  lat-

ter  date  he  wrote  Madison:  'A 
convention  for  the  amendment  of 
our  constitution  having  been  much 
the  subject  of  conversation  for 
some  time,  I  have  turned  my 
thoughts  to  the  amendments  neces- 
sary. The  result  I  enclose  you.'  No 
convention  was,  however,  called. 
Jefferson  in  17 SG,  while  in  Paris, 
printed  this  constitution  in  pamph- 
let form.  The  title  of  this  edition 
was  Draught  of  a  fundamental  con- 
stitution for  the  commonwealth  of 
Virginia  (8vo.  14p.)  This  Jefferson 
bound  up  with  his  Notes  on  Vir- 
ginia, aa  an  appendix,  prefaced  by 
the  following  statement:  'In  the 
summer  of  the  year  1783,  it  was  ex- 
pected that  the  assembly  of  Vir- 
ginia would  call  a  convention  for 
the  establishment  of  a  constitution. 
The  following  draught  of  a  funda- 
mental constitution  for  the  com- 
monwealth of  Virginia  was  then 
prepared,  with  a  design  of  being 
proposed  in  such  convention,  had  it 
taken  place.'  cf.  Madison's  Letters.

Nov.  28th,  1829;  3.  A  brief  sketch 
of  Mr.  Giles's  Remarks  on  the  ju- 
diciary, Dec.   29. 

"The  present  volume  comprises 
the  Proceedings  and  debates  of  this 
important  convention.  It  is  as  com- 
plete a  history  of  them,  as  can  be 
obtained;  not  a  resolution,  nor  pro- 
jet,  nor  note,  which  has  been  de- 
signedly overlooked;  scarcely  a  de- 
bate, which  is  not  attempted  to  be 
sketched.  The  publishers,  fully 
aware  of  the  deep  interest  which 
these  proceedings  would  excite,  not 
only  at  the  moment  of  action,  but 
for  all  future  time,  were  anxious  to 
rescue  them,  as  far  as  possible, 
from  oblivion;  and  they  accordingly 
looked  around  for  the  best  reporter 
that  could  be  obtained.  The  skill 
of  Mr.  Stansbury,  of  Washington,  in 
reporting  the  proceedings  of  Con- 
gress, is  well  known  to  the  citizens 
of  the  United  States;  and  the  pub- 
lishers deem  themselves  fortunate 
in  having  obtained  his  services,  as 
a  reporter  for  the  convention.  The 
public  may  be  assured,  that  they 
have  spared  no  pains  in  making 
their  volume  as  perfect  as  possible. 
Many  of  the  speeches  have  since 
been  revised  by  the  members,  and 
many  of  the  debates  are  now  pub- 
lished for  the  first  time.  Yet  the 
publishers  cannot  be  insensible  to 
the  imperfections  of  the  work.  No 
stenographer  can  take  down  every 
thing  accurately.  No  efforts  of  our 
own  could  supply  what  was  defec- 
tive. Some  of  the  orators  had 
neither  the  time,  nor  the  inclina- 
tion, nor  even  the  means,  of  enlarg- 
ing the  sketches  of  the  stenogra- 
pher; and  we  feel  it  due  to  some 
of  them,  frankly  to  confess,  that 
we  are  far  from  having  done  justice 
to  some  of  their  speeches.  It  is  not 
easy  to  report  the  speeches  of  such

can  only  assure  them,  and  the  pub- 
lic, that  we  have  done  the  best 
within  our  power."  Preface,  p.  iv.

This  was  kindly  sent  to  the  Virginia 
state  library  for  examination.  The 
volume  covers  the  debates  from 
Jan.  6  through  March  7,  with  some 
pages,  376-457,  and  481-496  want- 
ing. 

The    Debates    were    published    as 


supplements  to  each  of  the  Rich- 
mond  newspapers,    but   in   no    copy 

of  a  Richmond  paper  of  this  time 
in  the  Va.  state  library  does  the 
supplement  appear.  The  file  of  the 
Enquirer  in  the  Library  of  Congress 
contains  the  following  supplements: 
Proceedings  of  Jan.  8  to  Jan.  14,  27 
to  29,  31  to  Feb.  7,  1851.  Beginning 
with  the  supplement  containing  the 
proceedings  of  Feb.  8,  each  sup- 
plement is  numbered  consecutively, 
beginning  no.  9.  Of  these  the  Librpry 
of  Congress  has  numbers  9,  10,  11, 
12,  22,  24  to  30,  32,  33,  35,  37,  38, 
40  to  48,  51,  53,  54,  and  55.  The 
supplement  "55"  ends  with  the  pro- 
ceedings of  May  29,  18  51.  It  ap- 
pears, therefore,  that  a  more  nearly 
complete  report  of  the  Debates  of 
this  convention  is  in  the  Library  of 
Congress   than   elsewhere. 

The  titles  of  the  two  following 
documents  may  be  of  interest  in 
this  connection:

appointed  to  enquire  into  the  pro- 
gress made  in  publishing  the  Regis- 
ter of  debates  of  convention.  lSr>2-o. 
Doc.  no.  75.  Documents  of  House, 
1852-53.) 

This  report  explains  fully  the 
difficulties  in  the  publication  of  the 
Register.  It  is  apparent  from  this 
that  the  Debates  were  published  in 
full  as  supplements  to  the  regular 
issues  of  the  Richmond  Whig,  En- 
quirer, Examiner,  Times,  Republican 
advocate,  and  Republican,  though 
in  none  of  the  copies  of  these 
papers  in  the  Virginia  state  library 
do  the  supplementary  pages  appear. 
It  was  contemplated  to  publish  the 
speeches  at  a  sufficient  interval,  af- 
ter the  publication  of  the  same 
matter  in  the  newspapers  as  suDjJie- 
ments  to  afford  an  oTjportimity  for 
correction.  The  members  were  slow 
in  sending  in  their  manuscript 
speeches,  and  the  type  set  for  the 
supplement  to  the  newspapers  had 
to  be  distributed.  It  is  inferred  that 
the  type  already  set  for  the  Jan- 
uary and  February  sessions,  could 
be  used  at  once,  without  much 
change,  and  this  probably  accounts 
for  the  published  volume  of  the 
Register  covering  those  months,  but 
no  others.  The  total  amount  paid 
Mr.  Gallaher  up  to  Jan.  17,  1852 
was  $34,013.64.

delegates,   1852-53.) 

"On    the    20th    day    of    January, 
1851,   I  was  appointed  publisher  of 
the  Proceedings  and  Debates  of  the 
Virginia    state    convention,    then    in 
session  for  the  revision  of  the  con- 
stitution;  and  in  pursuance  thereof, 
entered    into    a    contract    with    the 
secretary   of   the   body  for   printing  [ 
and    distributing    the    same    in    the  j 
form   of   a   Supplement   to   the   sev-  ! 
eral   daily   papers   of   Richmond,   at  ; 
a  stipulated   price.    I   was   also   en-  | 
gaged  to  print  in  book  form,  a  Re-  | 
gister  of  the  Debates  and  proceed-  j 
ings    of    the    cenvention,    and    that 
honorable    body    directed    the    dis-  ! 
tribution  of  600  copies  of  the  work  i 
to   its   members,    and   to   officers   of  | 
the   government."  | 

"On  the  31st  of  July,  1851,  the 
day  before  adjournment,  the  fol- 
lowing resolutions  were  adopted  by 
the  convention: 

1.  Resolved,  That  the  publisher 
of  the  convention,  under  the  super- 
intendence of  the  secretary  of  the 
convention,  be  authorized  to  com- 
pile from  the  journal  and  from  the 
city  papers  published  at  the  time, 
a  condensed  history  of  the  short 
session  of  this  body,  held  in  the 
months  of  October  and  November 
last;  said  history  to  form  part  of 
the  Register  of  debates  already  or- 
dered for  the  use  of  members,  and 
for  distribution  to  the  several  states, 
and  of  public  officers,  according  to 
the  late  act  of  assembly. 

2.  Resolved,  That  the  secretary 
of  the  convention  be  authorized  to 
certify,  for  payment,  the  accounts 
of  Ro.  H.  Gallaher  for  the  publica- 
tion of  the  said  Register  of  debates. 

"Under  the  authority  aforesaid, 
and  under  the  obligations  of  my 
contract,  I  proceeded  with  the 
printing  of  the  Supplement,  and 
finished  it — and  have  since  printed 
50  forms  of  the  Register,  the 
greater  portion  of  one  ]ara:e  0'"tavo 
volume.  The  whole  will  probably 
constitute  three  to  four  volumes  of 
1,000    pages    each." 

"The  delay  in  completing  the  work 
has  been  occasioned  by  two  causes, 
both  of  which  will  no  doubt  be 
deemed  sufficient  by  your  honor- 
able body:  the  first  is,  the  unavoid- 
able delay  on  the  part  of  many 
members  in  revising  and  correcting 
their  speeches,  (some  of  them  not 
yet    having    done    so;)    the    second, 

that  the  auditor  deemed  it  his 
duty    to    decline    further    payment, 


for  the  want  of  what  he  considered 
sufficient  authority." 

"Having  executed  printing  on  the 
first  volume  of  the  Register  to  the 
amount  of  more  than  two  thousand 
dollars,  which  is  still  unpaid,  I  re- 
spectfully submit  to  your  honorable 
body  the  propriety  of  early  action 
upon  the  subject,  and  such  provision 
as  will  enable  me,  through  my  trus- 
tee, to  complete  the  work  accord- 
ing to  contract." 

The  following  letter  is  also  of  in- 
terest. 

Executive  Department, 
Richmond,   June    19th    1858. 
Dear  Sir, 

Having  had  from  time  to  time, 
frequent  applications  for  a  copy  of 
the  Register  of  Debates  of  the  Con- 
vention of  1850-51  in  the  public  li- 
brary, and  not  being  able  until  late- 
ly to  find  out  what  had  become  of 
that  portion  of  the  edition  which 
had  been  printed,  or  whether  the 
edition  had  ever  been  completd,  or 
could  be  finished  with  the  material 
with  which  you  were  furnished,  I 
write  to  ascertain  if  possible,  the 
facts  from  you.  I  have  ascertained 
that  the  printed  matter  for  the 
Register  &  Supplement  is  in  the 
possession  of  Messrs.  Colaton  &  Co. 
&  Mr.  Alfred  Williams  in  this  City 
&  that  they  hold  them  subject  to  a 
lien  for  storage  and  also  for  a  debt 
due  to  Mr.  Williams  by  you  for 
about  $350.  And  that  these  two 
amounts  would  perhaps  be  about 
the  amount  due  you  for  the  forma 
printed  over  and  above  those  al- 
ready paid  for.  I  have  asked  the 
opinion  of  the  Attorney  General  as 
to  the  interest  &  rights  of  the  Com- 
monwealth over  the  materials  in 
consideration  of  the  sum  already 
paid  by  her.  He  gives  it  as  his 
opinion  that  "The  State  is  unques- 
tionably entitled  to  so  much  as  she 
has  paid  for.  I  do  not  doubt  that 
Mr.  Gallaher  would  order  so  much 
to  be  handed  over  under  his  con- 
tract". The  Attorney  General  fur- 
ther says  "Perhaps  Mr.  Gallaher 
would  agree,  upon  the  State's  pay- 
In  gr  Mr.  Williams'  debt,  &  the  bill 
for  storage,  to  hand  over  the  whole 
edition  as  far  as  printed.  Mr.  Wil- 
liams could  not  object  to  this.  I 
think  Mr.  Gallaher  would  be  Vmiind 
to  do  so.  He  is  also  bound  to  de- 
liver up  the  written  materials  in  his 
hands,  with  which  the  Legislature 
might  hereafter  print  the  re- 
mainder of  the  Register  of  De- 
bates."

CONVENTIONS   AND   CONSTITUTIONS   OF   VIRGINIA. 


Will  you  be  so  good  as  to  give 
me  any  information  in  your  power 
relative  to  the  subject,  with  your 
views  &  wishes.  Perhaps  some  ar- 
rangement may  be  made  by  which 
all  parties  may  be  satisfied.  It  is  a 
pity  that  the  materials  should  re- 
main in  the  condition  in  which  I 
hear  they  are,  being  used  as  wrap- 
pers, and  in  a  state  of  utter  confus- 
ion, and  utterly  valueless  to  any 
one.  An  early  attention  to  this  let- 
ter will  be  desirable.

The  Debates  in  full  begin  in  the 
issue  of  the  Enquirer  of  Feb.  14, 
18  61,  and  continue  daily.  The  De- 
bates were  never  published  as  a 
whole  in  book  form.  The  Vi'-.s^inia 
state  library  has  the  issues  of  the 
Enquirer  through  March  16,  1861. 
The  Confederate  memorial  museum 
has  a  file  of  the  Enquirer  for  1861 
containing  many  issues  that  are  not 
in  the  Virginia  state  library;  its  file 
is  more  nearly  complete  than  that  in 
any  other  library  of  which  we  have 
information.  The  Enquirer  is  in- 
dispensable for  the  student  of  the 
convention  of  1861.  The  Debates 
appear  also  in  the  Daily  and  Semi 
Weekly  examiner;  the  file  of  the 
Daily  examiner  for  18  61  in  the  Vir- 


ginia state  library  begins  with 
April  5,  and  continues  with 
a  few  numbers  missing  through  Dec. 
31;  the  file  of  the  Semi  weekly  ex- 
aminer is  complete  from  March  8 
to  Dec.  31,  1861.  Sketches  of  the 
Debates  appear  in  the  Dispatch,  the 
file  of  which  for  1861  in  the  Vir- 
ginia state  library  is  almost  com- 
plete.
